1993 Honda Accord EX 4 cylinder. from North America

Summary:

Faults:

General Comments:

This is by far the best car I have ever owned.

It is roomy, stylish, reliable, and safe.

How safe? I was hit broadside by a policeman that was going 50 mph and my Accord suffered slight damage to the driver's door. This happened at 90,000 miles and still my car drives and looks like new. I luckily walked away without a scratch!

My wife and I also have a '93 Accord Wagon that is extremely reliable.

If you are looking for solid, reliable transportation that is a joy to drive, then a used Accord should be tops on your list.

Will earn high miles

Faults:

Seat wear (leather).

Driver's side door handle.

Valve cover gasket.

General Comments:

I love the car, it has never let me down. Most cars can't take this kind of abuse. Minor problems are cheap to fix, also I don't like the Honda dealer, I take it to an import specialist, they do the best job. E-mail me if you have any questions, I have had Hondas all my life.

1993 Honda Accord LX 4 cylinder from North America

Summary:

Faults:

Absolutely no power or acceleration whatsoever, compares to the Dodge Onmi/Chevy Chevette.

Weak engine, can't take abuse. Like any Honda, push it a little and it will overheat and fail.

Engine will not stay timed.

Climate controls have failed at least 3 times.

General Comments:

Honda's quality is way overrated. The sheet metal on this car is so thin, you could lean on it and dent it. This car was pampered and still couldn't seem to run right.

This is one of the worst performing cars I've ever driven. It's pretty embarrassing to get blown away at the stoplight by a Chevy Celebrity.

Ride and handling were OK. Fairly roomy and comfy interior too.

I've had every sensor possible break on the motor, again and again and again. I'd take my first car, (a '65 Falcon), any day over this rice burning loser-mobile. It was a car that ran well, drove well, put up with abuse and never failed me.

Your car must be an exception. Hondas are extremely reliable and wet all over American models and even German models. I have driven Honda engines and they take so much stick it is unnatural, even when abused and not maintained. Why are there so many old Honda models on the roads - in fact why are there so many old Japanese cars on the road? Simple - they are far more reliable generally than other manufacturers! By the way - I am not Japanese - just that I'm not blinded by patriotism.
